My Psychiatrist Is Retiring

She said my case had pushed her to the brink and it was either quit, or commit suicide. "Chicken," I said.

Ha, no. She is retiring, but as she put it "because she'd been promoted to grandmother." She sent all of her clients a letter last month and gave us six months notice. She was so generous with the notice time because she acknowledges the psychiatric shortage in our area. I saw her yesterday, Feb. 3, probably for the last time, although a May appointment was scheduled for me, she wants me seeing a different mental health care provider by then.

When I told her I hadn't made an appointment with anybody yet, she pulled out a printout and circled some doctors' names, and crossed out others. The third psychiatrist she recommended for me was "telepsychiatry." I never heard of it before.

It looks a little odd, but I think I could get used to it. Being the provider, I mean.

It'd be cool to have, like, Alfred Hitchcock for a telepsychiatrist.

I'm willing to try it to see if it helps. I'd better see the same shrink every time, or fuck that shit. That would seem like customer service more than healthcare provision.

Soon, we'll be talking to robots instead of humans. Maybe we already are.

seems like whenever we find a compatible match, they leave us too soon. it's hard to find just the right fit when it comes to any kind of doctor. I really like my primary doc. If she would ever leave, I would not look for a replacement here in Racine. I've grown too fond of Franklin, I would look for someone there.

I like my doctor here in Racine she is really nice and very helpful. I have never had a problem with her and when I come down sick I do not have to go in to see her she just sends a prescription to the pharmacy for me. She is also the one that told me to see my knee surgeon.

Daddy Orbs I am sorry to hear about your doctor I know how much you really liked her and how much she has helped you.

The new breed of sex doll is more realistic than ever, using virtual reality technology to programme a voice and a personality.

Tyger Drew-Honey investigated the future of the sex industry for a new programme and came face to face with the sophisticated model.The Outnumbered actor, 20, whose parents were once porn stars, met Matt McMullen, a sex doll manufacturer whose latest creations are designed to create 'a higher form of masturbation'.

Matt, 55, has built his career on selling sex toys and revealed the latest models are more than just dolls, they are robots programmed to fulfill desire.

Matt explained to Tyger for his latest documentary for BBC Three that the lifelike dolls, all with a number of 'usable orifices', can be linked up with an app so their owner can programme them to behave however they want.

The doll's 'mind' will 'exist in the app' and will be based on what their owner chooses.

*WOW* - A sexy robot with a personality you choose - all the looks, none of the "bite" - a big improvement on Cold Ethyl.

AND none of those mistakes Men make when they wander into the "NO GO ZONE"!

"The famed Bald Eagles from Decorah, Iowa are back on their nest and ready to start a new family! World famous and live streamed via the internet by the Raptor Resource Center, anyone can view the parents raise their eaglets from egg to fledglings from the comfort of their homes. Using infrared cameras and microphones, the eagles can be seen around the clock during the nesting season, which starts in January or February and runs till June."
